Red velvet, it's been fun, but I think we should start seeing other people. I have a new favorite cake and her name is tres leches. She's perfectly sweet and moist. It was love at first bite.
Last night, I had an aching sweet tooth that forced me to develop an attack plan to conquer it for the time being. I decided that I would pay the Drago Sisters Bakery a visit to try tres leches. This was my first encounter with tres leches so I had nothing else to compare it to, but I can't imagine it getting much better. When we showed up, the owner said she was all out. Nooooo!! Then she checked in the back and found one last one which she iced on the spot. We got our tres leches and a creme puff and were happily on our way.
The creme puff is 15% puff and 85% creme. My kind of ratio! It had a very slight taste of coffee to make it less sweet, and even though I don't like coffee, it was still delicious. The tres leches here is the star. I could see the liquid of the three milks pushing out as my fork ran through it. It was so moist that it shattered and melted in my mouth to coat every taste bud in three sweet, yummy milks. My only problem now is to convince my husband that we should spend every expendable cent on tres leches from Drago Sisters.
